that is way too much money. look for a deal closer to 350 bucks, with a scope.that is total with tax. it is a hunting rifle, it is ugly, it has a comfy recoil pad,it is actualy a comfy rifle, it will be accurate , if you are plinking, for the first 3 to 5 shots. After that , heat is your big enemy. I shot a dudes in 7 mag, zeroing it in for him, and it shot a dime size group at 100. But it was pretty much done for the day. it is a beater rifle, but I do not know if it can take heavy pounding or dropping. I would try and find one in nickel wash/stainless. the others look as if it will rust if you look at them too hard.
